I have to agree with MikeEnRegalia. Vai is such a complete guitarist. Listen to whispering a prayer, then to Bad Horsie and then to the attitude song  you'll see he can mostly play every style!

You don't know much about Vai. Vai doesn't play fast heavy guitar music all the time ... and Fripp doesn't play slow peaceful acoustic guitar music all the time.

BTW: I have the Vai/Satriani/Malmsteen DVD, and people like you should watch the first Vai song: Vai enters the stage with his three neck guitar and SITS DOWN on a chair. Then he plays a beautiful peaceful song without any drums or bass - just wonderful harmonic improvisations.

I'd love to see Vai (whom I voted for, naturally), Satriani and one of these:

  • Mattias IA Eklundh
  • Mike Keneally
  • Bumblefoot (Ron THal)
  • Buckethead
  • Scott Henderson
  • Greg Koch
  • Eric Johnson (again)

Have you seen one of these shows? I've seen the one with Malmsteen, vai and satch, and Vai was clearly the best one in the three, even my Satriani-obsessed friend said so!!

This is not an all-out progressive poll, but this contains some progressive bands(Frank Zappa, Deep Purple (not clearly prog, but they are on the site!), King Crimson, Dream Theater, etc.) So vote! I want to see your favourite! It took me a long time to choose, but finally my vote goes to mr. Fripp, with Steve Vai as a close second.
